I was told that it is the mystic law... the one that is apparent in most (if not all) religions, for example:
Brahmanism - This is the sum of duty: Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you - Mahabharata 5:1517
Taoism - Regard your neighbour's gain as your own gain and your neighbour's loss as your own loss - T'ai Shang Kan Ying P'ien
Buddhism - Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful - Udana-Varga 5:18
Zoroastrianism - That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not good for itself - Dadistan-i-dinik 94:5
Christianity - All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets - Matthew 7:12

So I guess my question is was I told right, and if not... what does Nam-Myoho Renge-Kyo mean?

I have been beginning to wonder how many of us there are in here, because I find we have different views on some things when it comes to R & S compared to those on the other side of the world

So would you mind telling me if you are from Australia or even New Zealand if you like?

Media says that untill now its not clear that wo hanged sadam!! few news say that till recent saddam was in US captive, so indirectly it says US govt. had hands in his death sentence. Does Bush wants to eliminated muslim community by divide and rule policy. Will this happen or will it have another attack on US by Muslims.

Listen to the speech first please and then tell me. It was one of the best ever in my opinion. Another question is James Brown equal in history compared to Martin Luther King Jr.? James Brown made it acceptable to be black in this country. In fact he was the only entertainer in his time that white people knew. He was more famous than Martin Luther King Jr. in late 50's to early 60's. He made it possible for white people to hear blacks. He was the person who said, "I'm black and I'm proud." Is he deserving to be in the history books before Martin Luther King? I think he has earned the right.

how much do those children need to suffer before he's satisfied? starving wasn't enough he needed to add AIDS into the mix. despots hungry for power slaughtering them and their families. and you have the very balls to pray that god clear the freeway so you aren't too late to pick up a latte on your way to work?

and he does it for you, doesn't he.

so why does god love you and hate the 3rd world children?

I am looking for a city to study Spanish in over the Summer. I have narrowed all the cities down to either Valencia or Barcelona. I am looking for a city that has many interesting things to see and do, great architecture, both modern and traditional aspects present in the city, a pretty beach ;), and...of the two cities, possibly the one with less tourists during the summer? I live in Madrid now, and will return there in the Fall. My Spanish has improved since I have been living here and I love this city, however, there are far too many English speakers in Madrid. I would like to study intensively in a city where there is less tourism and less english spoken.
